Broiled Green Beans with Almond-Honey Panko Crunch

Ingredients

- 1 pound fresh green beans, trimmed
- 2 tablespoons olive oil
- 1 teaspoon kosher salt
- 1/2 teaspoon freshly ground black pepper
- 2 tablespoons lemon juice
- 1 tablespoon honey
- 1/2 cup panko breadcrumbs
- 1/4 cup sliced almonds
- 1/2 teaspoon garlic powder

Instructions

1. Preheat Broiler:
- Set your oven's broiler to high. Allow it to preheat while you prepare the green beans. This should take about 5 minutes.

2. Prepare the Green Beans:
- Rinse and trim 1 pound of fresh green beans. Pat them dry with a paper towel to ensure they are free from excess moisture.

3. Season the Green Beans:
- In a large mixing bowl, combine the green beans with 1 tablespoon of olive oil, 1 teaspoon of kosher salt, and 1/2 teaspoon of freshly ground black pepper. Toss until the green beans are evenly coated.

4. Make the Honey-Lemon Glaze:
- In a small bowl, whisk together 2 tablespoons of lemon juice, 1 tablespoon of honey, and the remaining 1 tablespoon of olive oil. Set aside.

5. Prepare the Panko-Almond Mixture:
- In a separate bowl, mix 1/2 cup of panko breadcrumbs with 1/4 cup of sliced almonds and 1/2 teaspoon of garlic powder. Stir until well combined.

6. Arrange for Broiling:
- Spread the seasoned green beans in a single layer on a rimmed baking sheet. Drizzle the honey-lemon glaze over the beans, ensuring even distribution.

7. Add the Crunch:
- Sprinkle the panko-almond mixture evenly over the glazed green beans.

8. Broil the Green Beans:
- Place the baking sheet under the broiler. Broil for about 5-7 minutes until the green beans are tender but still crisp, and the panko topping is golden brown. Keep a close watch to prevent burning.

9. Serve:
- Remove from the oven and transfer to a serving platter. Allow them to cool slightly before serving.
